“…En México desde la década de los ochenta, la respuesta gubernamental en materia ambiental se ha traducido en emitir ordenamientos jurídicos desde los ámbitos federal, estatal y municipal, que en el caso de Puebla se refleja en lineamientos estratégicos y decretos para proteger y preservar algunas áreas naturales. De acuerdo con Sandoval (2001) la legislación ambiental se enmarca en la "moralización de la sociedad"; así, la conciencia y discurso ambientalista del Estado nace como respuesta a la presión de los movimientos sociales ante la problemática ambiental. A pesar del marco jurídico ambiental, las prácticas irracionales e incongruentes sobre las zonas naturales, principalmente de los sectores público y privado, han derivado en su pérdida paulatina.…”

R e s u m e n : El Cerro de Amalucan es uno de los principales pulmones del Municipio de Puebla, México, y a pesar de haber sido decretado como área de reserva ecológica, en 1994, ha perdido más de la mitad de su superficie natural en los últimos 25 años. El objetivo de nuestro escrito es mostrar cómo a pesar de existir normativa ambiental para la protección de zonas naturales éstas han sido sacrificadas a favor, principalmente, de los desarrolladores inmobiliarios. De esta manera queremos contribuir a la reflexión sobre las principales causas de dichas pérdidas y del papel de la acción colectiva para su protección y preservación. Nuestra metodología se basó en recorridos de campo para observar las actividades de los usuarios, deterioro y cambios de usos de suelo; en revisión bibliográfica, hemerográfica y de fuentes legales oficiales en materia de protección de áreas verdes y en entrevistas semidirigidas y pláticas informales con usuarios.P a l a b r a s c l a v e : áreas naturales; legislación ambiental; gestión ambiental; Cerro de Amalucan; Organización ciudadana.

“…More than 40% of the national population inhabits these regions [13]. These ecosystems are being endangered by anthropogenic activities that cause desertification, such as overgrazing, land use change, deforestation, postharvest tillage, and poor soil management, causing 59% of the surface of the Mexican Republic to be desertified by soil degradation [16].…”

Arid and semiarid regions are geographic units that cover approximately 43% of the earth’s surface worldwide, and conditions of extreme drought and reduced vegetation cover predominate in these regions. In Mexico, arid and semiarid ecosystems cover more than half of the territory, with desertification, mainly caused by anthropogenic activities and climatic events, as the main problem in these regions. The present research aimed to assess, identify, and classify arid and semiarid zones by employing a methodology based on multicriteria evaluation analysis (MCA) using the weighted linear combination (WLC) technique and geographic information systems (GIS) in the hydrological administrative regions (HARs) of the North Pacific, Northwest, and Baja California Peninsula, located in Northwest Mexico. Data related to aridity, desertification, degradation, and drought were investigated, and the main factors involved in the aridity process, such as surface temperature, soil humidity, precipitation, slopes, orientations, the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), and evapotranspiration, were obtained. For the standardization of factors, a fuzzy inference system was used. The weight of each factor was then determined with the analytical hierarchy process (AHP). To delimit arid regions, the classification of arid zones proposed by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) was used, and the result was an aridity suitability map. To validate the results, the sensitivity analysis method was applied. Quantitative and geospatial aridity indicators were obtained at the administrative hydrological level and by state. The main results indicated that semiarid and dry subhumid zones predominated, representing 40% and 43% of the surface of the study area, respectively, while arid regions represented 17%, and humid regions represented less than 1%. In addition, of the states for which 100% of the surface lay in the study area, it was observed that Baja California and Baja California Sur had the largest arid and semiarid zones, while subhumid regions predominated in Sonora and Sinaloa.

“…From then onwards, the number of environmental associations increased dramatically. Sandoval and Semo (1985) and Quadri (1990) described four basic kinds of ecological groups in Mexico in the mid-1980s: 1. Some NGOs had developed as opponents to governmental policies, particularly those involving the environment, and adopted many aspects of the ideology of the European anti-nuclear groups.…”
